The Goodfoot will have an art opening Thurs, Jan 26th from 5-12. the show will be up until Feb. 20. The artists this month are Allison Bruns, Melissa Dow, Scott Chase and Zak Gere.
Allison Bruns earned her Bachelor of Arts in Illustration from Pacific Northwest College of Art in 2007. She received the 2007 Creativity Annual Student Award for News and Editorial Illustration for her thesis illustrations on the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. While Bruns’s illustration work is figurative and at times satirical, her fine art is interpretive, focusing more on expression and contemplation.
Melissa Dow is an illustrator and character designer living in Portland, OR. She graduated with honors from the Pacific Northwest College of Art in 2007 with a BFA in Illustration.
Scott Chase was born in San Francisco, but raised in the Pacific Northwest. He is new to painting, but has been drawing his whole life. Inspired by pop culture, film and history, Scott's portraits create dramatic contrasts from familiar iconic subjects. Scott's free-hand interpretations of photos and images capture a ¬Å“likeness¬Â in positive/negative space, while creating a painterly high contrast.
Zak Gere was born in Portland, Oregon, in 1978. As a self-taught artist, he has been independently showing and selling art since 1999. Zaks paintings vary greatly in subject and style from photo realistic portraits to highly stylized figures and landscapes. Zak also sculpts with a variety of materials but has focused on wire sculpture which he builds in to incredibly detailed solid forms.
